Prague Declaration 2009

European universities met in Prague from 18-21 March 2009 to discuss the topic “Facing Global Challenges: European strategies for European universities“. We also addressed the present financial and economic crisis and its impact. For this reason the first part of our Declaration is a targeted message to political leaders and decision makers in international donor organisations with proposals for immediate measures to address the crisis. The second part of the Declaration sets out a long-term strategic agenda for universities identifying 10 factors that will determine our future success.
